Everywhere, unfortunately.
And, they are everywhere in other places all over the USA too.
Recently, I saw an article that indicated the highest percentage of registered sex offenders in the USA were in Arkansas. This made me wonder how the various areas in Greater Columbia compared to each other. Early in 2013, I had completed my 500th real estate closing, so I decided to list the top 14 zip codes by number of my closings (accounting for 88%) and then make comparisons. All zip code areas analyzed were below the South Carolina average percentage and significantly below that of Arkansas.
One zip code, 29036, was significantly lower for the number of registered sex offenders than any of the other 13 zip codes. The 29036 zip code is an area Northwest of Columbia and includes the town of Chapin, surrounding area and many homes on Lake Murray. The four zip codes with the lowest percentages in my analysis were 29036, 29072, 29229 and 29073.
Two zip codes, 29045 and 29070, were significantly higher than other zip codes. The four highest percentages for registered sex offenders in my analysis were 29045, 29070, 29170, 29016.
